"Are you really sure about this?"
I voiced my doubts frankly.
[I'm 100% sure. They made their base there.]
I was having a small discussion with Bona and planning our strategies to lower the risks of being caught or killed. Yes, it was time to fulfill my real motive this time, beating those humans' asses to pulp.
"Alright! Let's go then!"
I stood up and looked around, searching for my spear. It was leaning on the deeper side of the cave. I then walked towards its direction.
[Before that, why don't you distribute your stat points first? That should be helping you a lot."
She was right. I didn't even consider allocating my stat points since I felt I got much stronger just from evolving once.
"Status."
The next moment, the usual panel appeared in front of me.

"Hmm… You know what? Dump everything to AGI."
I got so unmotivated after seeing those numbers continuously for a lot of times.
[That's not good, Farenna. You'll only be speedy with no firepower to support you. I suggest you distribute them at least to STR, AGI, and DEX.]
"Okay then. How many points will each one of them get? 35?"
[Yep, with 10 bonus points as the remaining. Lemme do it for you.]
After that, I could feel the usual surge of power inside my whole body, but stronger. It was as if every cell in my body developed almost at the same time, creating a massive burst of internal energy spread through every single one of my nerves. It was undoubtedly a pleasant feeling.
[How is it?]
Bona's voice woke me up from my imagination.
"Better than ever.", I smiled and clenched my fist. "I'm getting stronger. I feel like I'm not losing to anyone now."
[That's your main goal, isn't it? Come on, let's go.]
"Alright!"
I dashed towards the direction Bona had told me earlier. It was much different than before. I was running like crazy and I didn't even feel tired at all. Dea was right, distributing stat points before and after evolving was way different in terms of efficiency.
[Feel the sensation of your feet stomping the ground. Can you feel it?]
"Yeah, I can."
Every single step I took made my feet buried in the ground a little bit due to the force I put on my legs. I wasn't even trying that hard. "This is awesome!" was all I could think at that time.
[With this kind of pace, you'll reach the destination in 2 hours or more. You can go much faster than this.]
After hearing that, my adrenaline went up. I grinned and rested my spear on my shoulder.
"Let's make it in 15 minutes!"
I dashed even faster and everything around me distorted, as if I cracked into a different dimension. Every object that entered my sight wouldn't stay even for a split second. It was like seeing rays of lights here and there. That was how fast I was running.
"This is… Fun! Ahaha!"
I surrendered myself into this and enjoyed every moment I could feel. The gold dress I was wearing stuck tightly on my skin because of the tremendous pressure from the wind. My skin also started to feel a little bit hot due to the friction with the hot breeze natural to the Abyss.
[Don't worry, this is normal. Do you wanna know how fast you're running now?]
The wind pressure didn't allow me to open my mouth, and instinctively, I knew it would be bad if I were to forcefully open it. I only nodded slightly since I also had to stay focused on the road.
[Around 150 kph. Isn't it interesting? Fufu.]
Wait, that much!? Was that even possible for a living creature to achieve that kind of speed!? Even the record for speed running was only 44 kph.
[Are you forgetting you're no longer human? You're a vessel and a Nymph, won't that make sense?]
A big NO! I still couldn't believe it!
[It's up to you though. I wasn't lying when I told you that.]
Before I could even retort, a big pond of lava entered my sight in an instant. It was still distant but somehow I could recognize it and its vicinity as clear as a day. There stood a tall concrete structure surrounded by walls made of metal.
[It's there. Do you have any plans?]
I nodded my head and grinned. Well, my plan was to burst through it by force. I raised my speed even more and jumped up, glided over the big pond, made a stance mid-air, and landed right in the middle section of the area. The impact made a big crater with me in the middle of it. The sound when I was landing was like a big explosion.
"Hell yeah, that was fun! Ahahaha!"
I turned my gaze around to check if I got surrounded or something.
"W-Who are you!?"
A raspy voice entered my ears. There, a group of men was staring at me from above. Their eyes were full of fear, as if they were looking at a terrifying monster.
"Ah… You're scared of me, aren't you?"
I jumped up from the crater and approached those men slowly.
"S-Stop! Don't come closer!"
One of the men stood up and made a stance. Seeing that, I could only grin and look directly at his eyes.
"I like those eyes… Full of fear, agony, despair…", I raised my spear as I recalled the memories from my past lives. "Humans never learn, don't they?"
Stab!
Without even giving him any chance to defend himself, I thrust my spear right in his chest. His metal armor was melting like butter when my spear made contact with it. The other men who saw that started screaming and crawling away from me.
"Bona?", I whispered.
[Yes? If you're asking how many people are here, it's around 200. One of them is quite strong though.]
"Thanks.", I tightened my grip and threw the lifeless body I had killed before into the crater. "Let's start the hunt."
I dashed forward, aiming for the men who were crawling away from me. With a stab to the heart for each one of them, their bodies turned limp and lost its power almost instantly.
[Farenna, more are coming!]
"I know."
I didn't even know why I could be so calm after killing several humans like that. No, I should fix my phrasing. Why didn't I feel any remorse after killing humans?
[I detected a lot of people hiding inside the building.]
"Don't worry.", I threw my spear towards the building's direction. "Burst it open, Vermillion."
The next moment, black miasma oozed out from my thrown spear and once it made contact with the building…
"Devour."
An enormous jaw made of miasma tore down the wall and made a big hole, exposing the people operating modern machines. I couldn't care less and dashed towards my spear, took it, and stabbed everyone inside the building.
"Ugh… You won't easily defeat me!"
A middle-aged man with white beard swung his double axes around.
[That is the strongest one here.]
"Heeeh…", I parried his attack and distanced myself a little bit. "Let's save it for the last."
[Do you have anything in your mind?]
"Yeah.", I grinned. "He shall know despair."
I dashed out from the building, ignoring the scream of the middle-aged man cursing me. I looked around as I ran and spotted several groups of men here and there.
"Found 'em!"
I aimed at them and stabbed every single one of them.
"You all deserve this…", I voiced my mind while swinging my spear in harmony. "You lack etiquette for guests."
Some were stabbed in the chests, some were in the head, and others were in other parts of the body. Every single one of them shrieked in pain and fear, and also spouting some nonsense like the Little Demon Queen or what. Were they referring to me?
[Actually, yes. On the surface, your existence made a big uproar. You're kinda famous there.]
"Not that I care, though.", I replied as I kept stabbing these poor creatures. "This is surprisingly fun."
After I wiped out those creatures, I dragged them one by one and gathered them inside the crater I was landing on, piled them up and made a small mountain of corpses. I stood on top of it, while my head was ringing from all the notifications I got.
"Humans are also a source of EXP, huh?", I touched my lips and licked the blood.
Then I turned my gaze towards the middle-aged man who was kneeling down and weeping in despair. Our eyes made contact for the first time. I couldn't hear what he was saying but I could read the movement of his mouth.
"The Little Demon Queen…", was what he probably uttered.
I approached him and stood in front of him, while holding my spear in my left hand. I bent over and whispered to him.
"Noblesse Obligé.", I smiled a little. "I only did what I was supposed to do."
It was to protect the Nymph tribe, at least that was what I believed. The middle-aged man didn't respond to me, and I felt a little bit irritated by that.
"This is the reason why humanity never learns. Your foolishness is beyond saving.", I reached my hand for his beard and started dragging him, ignoring his cries and pleas to spare him. "Well, I guess it's useless to tell you that now."
I dragged him until we reached the mountain of corpses that stood tall proudly. The blood dripping from it was like soup to me. Since when did I become this twisted anyway?
I pierced the man right in the forehead and threw him into the pile.
"Devour."
Chomp!
All those corpses, along with the ground around them, vanished as the black gigantic jaw swallowed them from below.
"Thanks for the food."
I licked the blood near my lips and walked away, while blood kept dripping from my golden dress that was smeared red now.
